But in the end it turned out to be no more than a man with a dog.
SPOILER ALERT! No, it's okay, I remembered the ending, more or less.
And that's why Sherlock and X-Files, despite superficial similarities, are ultimately two very different things with totally different approaches to reality.
Oh, certainly. That's what was so disappointing about the Sherlock episode. It's all supposed to fit together logically and make sense in the real world, and it didn't. The intersection of the two worlds is with the secret military base and the scientist who is illegally experimenting on human subjects, who murdered a witness to said experiments. The supernatural legend is just the hook to get Mulder and Scully to the bed and breakfast. Kind of a Mulder-led tour of the Myths and Legends of Great Britain? By adding in the x-file elements, ideally tying the human experimentation aspect into the mytharc, you eleminate the need for it to make sense! It's perfect!
